MDG theONE - 1480W Oil-Based Fog Machine with DMX and Built-in Fan in Touring Cradle

The MDG theONE is an advanced atmospheric generator that redefines fog and haze production, combining cutting-edge technology with ease of use for professional applications. This 1480W oil-based machine features a unique dual mode that allows seamless switching between haze and fog, making it versatile enough to suit a variety of atmospheric effects. With a maximum output of 100 m3 (3,531 ft3) per minute for fog and 65 ml (2.20 oz) per hour fluid consumption at full intensity for haze, theONE is engineered for both efficiency and performance. It can generate pure white fog or haze continuously, operating with a 100% duty cycle, ensuring that it meets the demands of live performances, events, and productions.

At the core of the MDG theONE is a sophisticated electronic assembly that maintains a stable temperature within its heating modules. This assembly integrates three types of fail-safe systems designed to protect against overheating, underheating, and component failure. If the internal temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), a safety circuit is triggered to disconnect power from the heating elements, thereby preventing hazardous conditions. The system continuously monitors temperature and indicates its status through a HEAT yellow LED. Should an error condition arise, the generator will shut down, and the LED will blink to signal the fail mode, allowing operators to take immediate action. In the event of an underheating condition, fog production will halt until the heating module is back within operational parameters.

The eONE incorporates the Automatic Purging System (APS), which purges the heating module after the initial heating cycle and after every emission of fog or haze. This feature prevents residual buildup and clogging, ensuring optimal performance over time. The machine's dual rigging points and supplied half-couplers make it particularly well-suited for touring conditions, whether indoors or outdoors with appropriate shelter.

One of the standout features of the MDG theONE is its networking capability, allowing it to be integrated into existing systems via DMX/RDM connectors or RJ45 nodes (supporting protocols like ACN, ART-Net, and SHOWNet). This flexibility provides users with advanced control options, enabling the generator to be seamlessly included in larger lighting and effects setups. Additionally, a USB 2.0 Link connector allows for software updates, ensuring that theONE remains at the forefront of technology.

The integral touring fan, which comes with its own dedicated control channel, allows for precise control over the direction of fog and haze output. It can be mounted above or below the haze/fog output, adjusting the directional flow to create desired atmospheric effects. The design of the touring cradle accommodates a 20 L (5.3 US gallons) fluid container and two interconnected 9 kg (20 lb) CO2 or N2 gas bottles, all housed within a robust aluminum frame that exceeds PLASA rigging standards. This cradle not only facilitates easy transportation but is also designed for stacking and rigging, making it ready for worldwide touring.

In terms of performance, the MDG theONE offers impressive total running times: it can produce haze for up to 308 hours (with CO2 running time of 50 hours) and fog for up to 20 hours (with CO2 running time of 15 hours) from its 20 L fluid container. The machine is equipped with a maximum warm-up time of under 8 minutes, allowing for quick deployment when needed. Operating on a universal voltage range of 100-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz single-phase, theONE is versatile and suitable for various power systems.

Physical dimensions for the machine include a height of 24 inches, width of 10 inches, and depth of 12 inches, with a weight of 50 lbs. The shipping weight with its flight case is 55 lbs. The touring cradle adds additional weight, bringing the total operating weight to 265 lbs when fully loaded with gas bottles and fluid. The cradle dimensions are 42 inches in height, 30 inches in width, and 24 inches in depth, ensuring that it fits standard trucks and containers for easy transport.

The MDG theONE is CE Declaration approved and certified by CSA and UL, confirming compliance with international safety standards. Overall, the MDG theONE is a revolutionary product that offers unmatched versatility, reliability, and performance for any professional environment requiring atmospheric effects.
